php

Call to undefined function Illuminate\Filesystem\symlink()

I am installing a PHP script on my server as a test but I'm experiencing this error. I'm having trouble understanding what is wrong with the script code.

I enabled debug mode on the application and got this error message:

Call to undefined function Illuminate\Filesystem\symlink()

This is the code (The line that says: return symlink($target, $link); is the line where debug found the error):

public function copy($path, $target)
{
    return copy($path, $target);
}

/**
 * Create a symlink to the target file or directory. On Windows, a hard link is created if the target is a file.
 *
 * @param  string  $target
 * @param   string $link
 * @return void
 */
public function link($target, $link)
{
    if (!windows_os()) {
        return symlink($target, $link);
    }
    $mode = $this->isDirectory($target) ? 'J' : 'H';
    exec("mklink /{$mode} ".escapeshellarg($link).' '.escapeshellarg($target));
}

/**
 * Create a relative symlink to the target file or directory.
 *
 * @param  string  $target
 * @param   string $link
 * @return void
 */
public function relativeLink($target, $link){
    
}
Solution

  • Seems you run it on a shared hosting, and some php functions are disabled by hosting provider for security reasons.
